Hello and Welcome to Our Expatriate Community in Rome!

Benvenuto! A warm welcome to our expat community in Rome! Many expatriates in the Italian capital have made use of the material available on InterNations while planning their move, and adapting to the new environment once arrived. Via InterNations, you will be able to find answers to queries and concerns that you might currently have about moving abroad. For example: "how does the health system work in Italy?", "what are working conditions like in Italy?ʺ, "which of Rome's 19 boroughs are recommended for expats?", and "how efficient is public transport in Rome?ʺ. These questions and many others are appropriately answered by our experienced members, who are always glad to help out a fellow expat. We aim to support you not only in reaching out to other global minds such as yourself, but also in developing a full understanding of the way of life in Italy's capital. Rome is a stylish and exciting city, where modern meets ancient, to a spectacular degree. Open-minded expats will enjoy its many delights, from espresso caffe bars to fashion boutiques, local gelato (ice cream) shops to arthouse cinemas.

With InterNations, you never stand alone. Whether you move to another city or go on a business trip
somewhere — our communities are there to make you feel at home wherever you are in the world. Feel free to
also check out our other vibrant InterNations Communities like the ones in
Hong Kong or

Further Information on Expat Life in Rome

Rome is a stunning city and its setting, history, art, and culture attracts millions of tourists every year. But it also offers a good quality of life for expats, who can immerse themselves in the arts, the laid back way of life, and no doubt make friends; Italy is world-renowned for its open and friendly people. Then there is the cuisine — pasta, pizza, pesto and ciabatta were all invented in Italy and there's a reason these dishes are globally popular: they're (it is widely agreed) delicious! With the help of InterNations, expats will be able to find neighborhood restaurants and cafes off the tourist trail, serving authentic food and drink. Like so many countries, Italy has been affected by the world recession but there are still job opportunities within industries such as media, fashion, tourism and banking, which attract expats.
